Once again I wonder what it is that BTB is so afraid of. Could it be the opposite viewpoint??? Or is it the correct viewpoint that scares him so?????????
Are you honestly blinded by the truth or do they not let you out the door of your small little world thus only giving you ample time to scream jibberish out of the tiny windows. I can make this real simple. Nobody is saying what you did was illegal. However, it is the epitomy of hipocrite of which you are a shining example. Here, I'll try and explain as slowly as possible.
But I never hit the release on my own lands on any buck under 8pt/16"/3 yrs old.
First off being the great hunter that you proclaim yourself to be I will assume that you do realize that at the time of harvest a buck is either 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 years old (unless you have magical deer that are born in November). I am also going to assume that you aren't the first person in history to have a Phd in "judging deers age from 30 yards away while hanging from a tree". Which means that the 8 pointers you shoot are either 2.5 or 3.5 years old at the time of the shot. Hmmmm...this is starting to sound strikingly familiar. Now last time I checked, for a deer to be 2.5 years old it must have been passed up by YOU when it was 1.5 years old which should have been simple since you are the deer aging queen. But wait a second, if I remember correctly you said letting 1.5 year old deer go won't make trophies but yet you admit doing so on your own land.
Happily Alt is gone sadly those he conned into thinking Pa could become Iowa by letting 1.5 yr old bucks get harvested at 2.5 yrs old (when they are suddenly a trophy) at the expense of the anterless herd remain.
I find it quite ironic that you crucify Alt for implementing a plan statewide that you yourself practice on you own land. That my friends is the poster child for hipocrites everywhere.Here's an idea, load up your vehicle with ummm.....well, anyone who will listen to your nonsensical rants. Don't bother splitting the gas...you'll probably be flying solo anyway. Print out the majority of posts you have made on this thread and be sure to take them with you. Now drive to the local walmart and find the largest mirror they have in stock. Stand in front of said mirror reciting your posts to yourself over and over. When you get tired of hearing yourself talk come on back and post some more. That will definitely give us all a few months off.
